Cortez Village

My husband, Charlie and I are in Bradenton, Florida at my niece, Cindy’s ‘new/old’ house. Cindy just purchased a quaint 1940’s house in an equally quaint fishing village. Cortez Village Community is very small but most of the residents have lived here either all their life or a great part of their life. The Village itself has recently been placed on the National Historic list…
Tomorrow the big job of sanding and refinishing hardwood floors begins.
A major job has become quite a fun project.
For example….we thought that Charlie and Dockie had to wire her laundry area for 220 volt electricity. Upon moving the archaic dryer, we found that 220 volt did exist…The previous owner said….’dryer no work’, no electricity. It was not plugged in…and when we plugged it in and turned it on…. it ran and ran even when we opened the door….it still ran….So obviously unplugging the cord was the only way to stop the dryer!
Cindy has now gone out to purchase a new dryer…another problem solved.
Needless to say, there are still more solutions to come.
